Mini Michaels "Haul" and CCDesigns Halloween Stamps

Hey everyone - hope y'all had a great weekend :). Hubby got home from his trip Saturday night and Sunday we decided to take the girls in to the city for one last fun day before summer is over and school starts. We took them mini golphing and wall climbing (my oldest can climb like a monkey LOL - I stayed on the ground with baby - I haven't wall-climbed since high school and have no plans of taking it up again!), and went to see Despicable Me 2 - I loved it - the minions crack me up. But I find the storyline in both that one and the first one to be really sweet! It's just so cute...

Anywho - since we were in the city we made a detour to Michaels. I had a few things in mind that I wanted to get and I knew they had to have all their Halloween stuff out. Man was I disappointed. Everything's been moved around since I was there last (no big surprise it's been months since I've been there), I couldn't find ANYTHING I'd hoped to find - and there was NO Halloween papercrafting/stamping/etc stuff set out. They usually have an entire section with the punches, patterned papers, glitter and everything related to Halloween - and there was nothing. But yet they had Christmas sections for papercrafting stuff set up already - go figure :P. They had a HUGE section of H'ween home decor, and the cheap kids items etc etc - but that was it.

Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. I did however take a quick look in the "dollar" (1.50 here in Canada of course!) stamp bins and they had the new Halloween stamps - so I grabbed a few:

I think there were more stamps than what I'm showing but these were the ones that appealed to me and I didn't have any more time to dig through them all to see what was there!

I've said a few times in my videos lately that I WILL be doing a Halloween video series again this year - I don't know yet when I'll be starting it as I have a lot going on right now. My schedule up to this point has been pretty manageable - now all of a sudden I have so many things going on over the next 3 weeks or so I don't even know how it all happened LOL! But that's my life - it's never dull *wink*.

I'm REALLY looking forward to fall, and Halloween (well the Halloween series LOL - for whatever reason I enjoy the idea/colors/decor of Halloween but don't get into it much more than that...) and have all sorts of ideas and plans in the works. So make sure to stay tuned!! *wink*
